I'd like to create small bubble-like beads. Any suggestions...having a hard time with the Hollow route......for Grape Clusters.

A friend and I just shot a video today for your ISGB chapter bead challenge. Narration starts on the second bubble. The quality isn't great - she shot it with my phone, but hopefully it'll help.

I don't know if it helps but Zoozii's has a bubble bead press that would make a great grape cluster.

Felicia, that looks like a fun and challenging technique. I agree that it would be great for grape clusters.
